Hi all.

Aucklander and I have had a couple of runs through recent posts in this thread and removed a few unsavoury comments.

The usual griping and gossip is par for the course, but some posts go overboard.

Word on the street is that there is no backdown and 3 options given to clubs and 11 teams are in all !

At end of season two get promoted to Premier B, two get relegated to Premier C, three get relegated to Div 1 and one get promoted to Premier C. In 2023 it goes back to two and two.

It'll be two up one down between b and c.

Just shouldn't have got to this

Can the VAFA just make a decision and run with it instead of trying to appease everyone?

 

[Gun Island]

What a position to be in and how dumb do they . Heads have to roll !

Why not? Worked well for Neville Chamberlain.

That makes no sense whatsoever. You would end up with 9 in B 9 in C 12 in Div1 if you used that model

Option 2 i believe is a 22 game season playing even on QB weekend , the other 2 are uneven draws .

22 games?? No way. I think the draw will be in the same format as previous seasons with byes.

The VAFA would be praying hard for no Covid byes with that option.

 

[Jascave]

The VAFA would be praying hard for no Covid byes with that option.

Especially during June-August, where if recent events are any guide, Coronavirus can run rampant. Hopefully everyone would have their booster shots by that stage.

It i believe will be what the majority want. What happens if Parkdale get smashed every week . They had a lack of players for reserves , but still had 19's and Masters.

 

[Max Leader]

20 games played over 22 weeks, with 2 byes for each team.
Each week a team will have a bye.

A long season.

Better than none

The upcoming VAFA AGM will be interesting to watch, considering all that has gone on over the last couple of months.

Is the AGM a virtual event this year or are they putting on a proper event where we can bring popcorn and a few froffies?

If it is a virtual event, the VAFA AGM would make the Handsforth Council meeting in the UK look tame by comparison. Can't remember the VAFA being in this much trouble since the period between 1998 and 2000.

Jon Anderson in the HS reporting that 3 people are challenging for positions on the board calling it "time for change" they are Alistair Ewart from Winning Edge , long time sponsor Peter Nash and former CEO Phil Stevens . The meeting with a few Presidents tomorrow night will be interesting to say the least , no one is going to accept 11 teams.

Stevens was fantastic when he was CEO. Wonderful man who I have a lot of time for.

One of Phil Stevens's initatives when he was CEO was to originally have Optus do a replay program on its then Local Vision channel called the Sportscover VAFA Game of the Day featuring ie Old Xaverians v Old Scotch, with the commentators being Brad Beitzel, Robert Cross and Jason Frenkel. However when Optus pulled the plug on its Local Vision channel, Stevens then negotiated with Channel 31 who took up the program which lasted for 3 years.

Probably get more eyeballs watching local footy through ClutchTV nowadays I’d suspect.

Through what ?

Through what ?

My guess is live streaming and replays
